The former PSG striker, who will turn 39 on October 3, will miss the Europa League game this Thursday evening against the Norwegians of Blodo-Glimt.
He was placed in quarantine at home.
On the last day of the championship, he again made people talk about him with his statements after his double against Bologna on Monday.
"If I had been 20 tonight, I would have scored four goals, not two, but luckily I have 39," he said.
I'm like Benjamin Button: I was born old, but I'm going to die young ”.
